what do you think its costs to live a life where money is no object? 3 billion?

If capitalism has taught us anything it’s the more that money is no object, the more it is the only object.

I’m just saying I would like to see a man beat a woman in a cage. Just to be sure.
3 Billion is how much we give cops in LA, and let me tell you it buys a lot of helicoptors

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
if it proves anything, musk's comedy of errors buying twitter is proof you can never have so much money that you can't blow it on stupid bullshit. how much money is "enough" depends entirely on someone's taste for stupid bullshit

Oh wait, I'm describing San Francisco

But really why burger and fries $30 and $100,000+ income = family "poverty?"

because middle class people can’t afford the rent or mortgage unless they inherit or get a hand-me-down

and it’s gonna be the case for the rest of the state too

I keep running into barriers in various facets of my life that are constructed around the idea that $100k is a lot of money for a yearly income. It is better than lower values, for sure, but it isn’t house and 2 kids kinda money in costal California. Apparently housing starts are trending down, so it is only going to get worse.

maybe in crescent city it could work though

"I Dare."
The amount of poo poo I get for complaining about the difficulty of living on 80k in California from people back east when I'm dealing with medical issues hour drives and poo poo beyond that is infuriating. 100k is really really really solid and I am so happy to be making as much as I am but I am not going to be retiring anytime soon.

Just give me some public transportation, please. Or fix my potholes.

You have to get to know the road guy on pothole fixing duty. Bake them some cookies for coming out. This was in a rural county though.

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
ventura is so loving bad about fixing potholes (and also most other things)

I want public transit, and more potholes.

Spend less on Public Transport, Public Health, and Housing. Arrest more minoritiescriminals (reminder that not having a house is a crime) to save on firefighting costs.

Make the potholes so big that anything smaller than a bus falls right through them

Those are called “bus traps” i think - Stockholm has a fair bit of them around, where it’s a narrowing of the road and then a bit of k-rail that sticks up in the middle of the lane. The bus can go over it no problem, but cars will get their oil pan taken out.

apparently it mostly traps tourists and old people
